We characterize contractible curves on proper normal algebraic surfaces in terms of complementary Weil divisors. Using this we generalize the classical criteria of Castelnuovo and Artin. As application we derive a finiteness result on…
Let $S$ be a surface of nonpositive curvature of genus bigger than 1 (i.e. not the torus). We prove that any flat strip in the surface is in fact a flat cylinder. Moreover we prove that the number of homotopy classes of such flat cylinders…
We give a formalism of arithmetic mixed sheaves including the case of arithmetic mixed Hodge structures, and show the nonvanishing of certain higher extension groups, and also the nontriviality of the second Abel-Jacobi map for zero cycles…
In this article we consider exceptional sequences of invertible sheaves on smooth complete rational surfaces. We show that to every such sequence one can associate a smooth complete toric surface in a canonical way. We use this structural…
We study bases of the lattice generated by the cycles of an undirected graph, defined as the integer linear combinations of the 0/1-incidence vectors of cycles. We prove structural results for this lattice, including explicit formulas for…
We study compact hyperbolic surface laminations. These are a generalization of closed hyperbolic surfaces which appear to be more suited to the study of Teichm\"uller theory than arbitrary non-compact surfaces. We show that the…
We present a new solution for fundamental problems in nonlinear dynamical systems: finding, verifying, and stabilizing cycles. The solution we propose consists of a new control method based on mixing previous states of the system (or the…

I provide methods of constructing elliptic and hyperelliptic curves over global fields with interesting rational points over the given fields or over large field extensions. I also provide a elliptic curves defined over any given number…
This paper is devoted to the explicit description of the Galois descent obstruction for hyperelliptic curves of arbitrary genus whose reduced automorphism group is cyclic of order coprime to the characteristic of their ground field. Along…
Discontinuous piecewise differential systems exhibit dynamical behaviors with no counterpart in smooth systems, particularly in the presence of nonsmooth switching structures. In this work, we extend previous results for systems separated…
After having investigated the real conic sections and their isoptic curves in the hyperbolic plane $\bH^2$ we consider the problem of the isoptic curves of generalized conic sections in the extended hyperbolic plane. This topic is widely…
We explain a general construction through which concave elliptic operators on complex manifolds give rise to concave functions on cohomology. In particular, this leads to generalized versions of the Khovanskii-Teissier inequalities.
Based on various strategies and a new general doubling operator, we obtain several simple proofs of the celebrated Sharkovsky's cycle coexistence theorem. A simple non-directed graph proof which is especially suitable for a calculus course…
Surfaces and curves play an important role in geometric design. In recent years, problem of finding a surface passing through a given curve have attracted much interest. In the present paper, we propose a new method to construct a surface…
We determine the distribution of the conductors $N$ of rational elliptic curves when ordered by naive height $H$, in the form of an explicit density function for the ratios $N/H$. Our work is essentially an effective version of the…
We give the parameters of any evaluation code on a smooth quadric surface. For hyperbolic quadrics the approach uses elementary results on product codes and the parameters of codes on elliptic quadrics are obtained by detecting a BCH…
The main purpose of this paper is to study limit cycles in non-linear regularizations of planar piecewise smooth systems with fold points (or more degenerate tangency points) and crossing regions. We deal with a slow fast Hopf point after…
After noticing that the regulator of a number field dominates the rank of its group of units, we bound from below the regulator of the Mordell-Weil group of elliptic curves over global function fields of characteristic $p\geq5$. The lower…
A cycle cover of a bridgeless graph $G$ is a collection of simple cycles in $G$ such that each edge $e$ appears on at least one cycle. The common objective in cycle cover computation is to minimize the total lengths of all cycles. Motivated…
